Oh Casey! I'm so sad...he looks just like one of our cats...Noel. I have to say that I did lose a cat once when I was in 5th grade. He was gone for 2 weeks and I cried, wailed and gnashed my teeth. My entire family was miserable. I found out through a friend he had taken up residence a few blocks from our house and actually at my classmates home. They were happy to return him except the baby sister not so much. Five years ago another cat went missing. I took out ads and went door to door and never found her. Sydney especially grieved losing her and still does. That was 5 years ago. I saw her...I know it was her about 5 blocks away. I will never know if someone picked her up, she got lost or just didn't like us anymore. But I know that was our cat. I also knew that after 5 years she wouldn't know us and so I never told Sydney. Will be praying for Batman!

aw I'm so sorry Casey :( but cats are smart (well, most of the time....ask Kristen about her "special" cats), and I'm sure that he's conned a family into taking care of him. hoping he finds his way back to you guys!

Batman is a great cat. And he seems very smart. Maybe he just needed a break from the craziness. I hope he comes back soon. I don't know HOW you've been getting through this. I would die if Lucy-C went missing. Lots of prayers for y'all.

I am once again waaaaaay behind on blog reading, so just now reading the sad news that Batman is gone. I am so sorry to hear it, but don't want you to give up hope! One of my cats went missing for 6 days twice and then for 3 weeks another time. And this, also, was a cat that never ventured outside much and always came back if she did. So I am going to cross my fingers and toes that Batman slinks his way back home very soon! Hang in there!!
